5.00An excellent guide, who spoke very good English. Having headsets and microphone was a massive advantage. Gave us all a map, explaining the sestieri, where to eat and where to experience the real Venice. Kept away from the busy areas showing us areas we would never have found. Telling us the history, pointing out points of interest, allowing time for photos.

5.00My husband and I had a great time! This was our first activity in Venice, and it was so fun to see some of the lesser-known sights of the city. Our guide, Thomas, was knowledgeable and relatable; and it was clear that he cares a lot about this city and its history. We especially appreciated the time he spent in the Jewish Ghetto, telling us about the history of that district, particularly as it relates to WWII.
